Welcome to Hotel DW StarFire where (as the Eagles say) You can checkout any time you like, But you can never leave. Nice to see you made it to the forums and will see you in the games. I use to have a pic of myself and the wife but decided I didnt want it to end up in Hornets collection

#3 in Hornets post is sad but true, It’s unfortunate we live in a society where you can’t just be yourself anymore and I should have know better than to ever post a pic of myself or my wife based on the above mentioned comment. My comment about Hornet was just my attempt at being humorous at his expense so please don’t take what I said out of context. However with that said one can never be to careful when it comes to posting pics or giving out names on the internet. Always better to be safe than to be sorry. :thumbright:
imo this is a little extreme...yes you have to be careful of what you put on the internet. but as far as being afraid to just put a simple picture of your self, that is honestly a little overboard and something you should really not be afraid of. So long as the picture is not of you making a fool of your self, you in a compromising position or action, or simply you nude lol chances of some one trying to use your "plain old picture" as something "foul" are so remote its will most likely never come to pass.DW_Hornet wrote: 3. I'm afraid people will use my picture to make nonsensical caricatures, and or photoshoping, of myself into other pictures for their own self amusement and agenda. You see I'm an icon, a forum troll, and an idiot wrapped in a moron. People tend to fling e-fecal matter in my direction for no justification.
then once you get past thinking about that you move onto the fact that you honestly dont have the authority or the knowledge to stop any and all pitcures of your self that are on the internet. for every "average person" on the internet there are easily hundreds, if not thousands of pictures you do not know about, that are floating about on the internet of your self. where either your with a friend, or your in a public place and you get photoed, or your some where, and you get caught in the background of some one elses photo. there are so many possibility's and ways you could end up in pictures which other people own, and then which they then upload to the internet. if you worry about every single picture you could be in, and some one using you "to gain there own self amusement and agendas" you will drive your self mad. and there is honestly no way to stop it.
so like i basically said before, no one should be afraid to have an image of them selfs so long as the image is just "plain" and "normal"...if it is you really have nothing to worry about.
with all of that out of the way, Hi starfire welcome and hope you have a good time...also you and terra should try to get over to server 2 every now and then :)
Well sorry to cause alarm but the general tone of the post was supposed to be comedic. Although I do approve of someones decision to place their own picture as an avatar, I would definitly not due so myself.
You can take that anyway you want.

The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.
